Brother in law converted the Deere D to gasoline. About a 48 model and broke the drive chain and pushed a big hole in the bottom. Then the 53 G did the Deere thing and ruined the splines on crankshaft. Transmission had shelled out before that but he repaired it.
I went along with him some years before that to salvage yard for a flywheel for the G. Tractor was not very old at that time. Guy says they used to have those flywheels stacked up like cord wood but were running low .
As many different ideas on how to properly tighten those flywheel bolts as there was flywheels. Taper lock saved a lot of them for a few years.
As for the ball bearings in IH, yup, saw a lot of them fail. Most were after many years of hard work. Not all , but most. Wasn't just the inner axle bearing as the brake shaft was actually the biggest offender.
Hard to convince sales department they needed changes. Engineers did what were told by higher up's. A ball bearing rolls easier so you gain a bit on rolling resistance. One of their excuses I heard from time to time.
The Hutterite colony were putting the flat bower roller bearings in inside rear axle years before IH did.
